The Department of Canadian Heritage plays a vital role in Canadians’ cultural and civic life by fostering an environment where Canadians can experience dynamic cultural expressions, celebrate Canada’s history and heritage, and build strong communities. Budget 2021 announced additional support of $300 million over 2 years to Canadian Heritage to establish a Recovery Fund for Heritage, Arts, Culture and Sport Sectors. The Canada Cultural Spaces Fund (CCSF) will receive an additional $10 million in 2022-2023 to deliver the Supporting the Foundations of Cultural Infrastructure Initiative.
